This is a good point as well, and more in line with what the original commenter was asking.
Using pi as a base is even briefly discussed on wikipedia. I had some interest in using e as the basis for a while, since (as is pointed out on wiki) "The base e is the most economical choice of radix β > 1 (Hayes 2001), where the radix economy is measured as the product of the radix and the length of the string of symbols needed to express a given range of values."
